Bold new paths in life and love are forged in nineteenth-century New
Zealand in the stirring final chapter of bestselling author Sarah Lark's
multigenerational Fire Blossom Saga.
It's 1880 in the North Island town of Otaki, where Aroha lives
contentedly with her mother, Linda--until a fateful tragedy leaves Aroha
traumatized and plagued by a cursed guilt. For the long recovery ahead,
Aroha is sent to Rata Station, a thriving sheep farm that Aroha's mother
and grandmother once called home. Linda knows it's the perfect place for
her daughter to heal, find hope, and start a life she can call her own.
On South Island, Aroha soon develops a bond with her relatives, who are
looking toward the future, too. Aroha's cousin March is a vivacious,
business-minded beauty who wants to take advantage of New Zealand's
burgeoning industrial age. Robin is a delicate young man and an aspiring
actor as fearful of his father's disapproval as he is desperate to run
from it. And then there's Aroha, who sees unexpected opportunity in the
growing tourism trade beyond the continental plains.
Through personal trials, professional compromises, great love, profound
loss, and a struggle to survive, Aroha, March, and Robin will discover
their true destinies. A country is in flux, and a generation of
ambitious and resilient young dreamers is changing with it in this
exhilarating conclusion to an epic saga.
